Light Entertainment: Programs should express a carefree concept or storyline designed to uplift and entertain the audience through related skating movements, gestures and physical actions. Props and Scenery ARE permitted. Competition Chair reserves the right to combine the A and B level into one group based on a single entry in each level. Basis of Judging: Performances will be judged from an entertainment standpoint, for theatrical and artistic qualities. Technical skating skills and difficulty will not be rewarded as such; however, skating must be the major element of the performance and be of sufficient quality to support the selected theatrical elements. Unintended falls, poorly executed skating elements and obvious losses of control will negatively affect the competitor s marks. Jump difficulty is not rewarded in showcase; therefore jumps, if choreographed, should be performed with style, flow and confidence. Theatrical elements evaluated will include are but not limited to: o Reflection of the musicality as it pertains to the concept of the program o Projection o Energy o Timing o Acting o Skating skills that relate to the music o Note: Prolonged pauses to express lyrics are discouraged Judging: The 6.0 judging system will be used. Divisions: Each level can include men and ladies. The competition committee reserves the right to combine divisions should low registration make it necessary. Divisions are for BOTH Dramatic and Light Entertainment categories. Performance Time: Times listed are maximum performance times. There is no minimum time.
